“Having lost 100GB + of improvised recordings I have decided to release whatever is left on my dusty hardrives to the world. Starting next week i will post an improv to my bandcamp page once a month (or at the speed i unearth them) - in the meantime here is a teaser! Proudly branded Distant Future” - JFrank

After a 5 year long musical hiatus, Pierlo is finally back with 2 brand new mini EPs: Programma1 and Programma2.

Since his last release (“Can’t Unfeel the Rhythm EP (Commerciale ‘94 Megamix)” published on Upitup in 2012), Pierlo was gone missing. Lost, wandering across the vastity of the european planes, through the Alps to the nordic sea and finally alit the mainland on a pre-brexit United Kingdom. Silent for years but still inspired by the lost glories of the Ivrean visionaries, this miniature set of condensed narrations recounted as small stories of futures lost in distant memories has finally come to light.

Absorbed in his recollection of 16-color palettes and 128KB implants, pioneering grandeurs of plastic-injection beige boxes and flatbed SCSI cables, the two albums form yet another subtle, respectful hommage to the dreams of the vanished avant-gard industrial revolutionary Olivetti.

Programma1 features a collaboration with Distant Future fellow member Raiders of the Lost ARP: “Meteo7” is a lush electro affair split between dreamy melancholic pads and an elastic swing modular synth bass.

From Büromaschinen’s Bandcamp page:
“The Eurasia Sessions are sort of "world explorations” I made to set the mood for my comic book “Golem”. They are all live jams recorded straight from the mixer. While the soundtrack is strictly related to specific “Golem” characters and places, Eurasia Session are meant to be more a sky high, eagle view flight thru 2030 Eurasia, the country where “Golem” takes place.“

Tech Notes:
To celebrate Distant Future Association’s first showcase, Büromaschinen performed a full hardware set, all live synthesis (all vocals were synthesized too, with the exception of the "generation 80” vocoder sample).
The complete rig featured: Elektron Monomachine, Elektron Machinedrum, Elektron Analog4 and a Strymon BigSky.

Distant Future members Rainbow Island have just presented their sophomore album, titled Crystal Smerluvio Riddims. To introduce listeners to the album’s geo-psychical concept, the band has commissioned fellow abstractraveler Awe IX (of the Quantum Natives collective) with the production of a groundbreaking panvisual documentary about the Jiāng river, which Distant Future is now pleased to offer here as an interdimensional exclusive in a 360 video format.

Distant Future is an artist collective focused on exploiting the power of narrative and escapism, beyond any specific genre, medium or technique. Currently spread across Europe (Italy, Switzerland, UK, Sweden), Distant Future members collaborate using different artistic languages to pursue their collective goal.
